MunMan Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi Chaps Looking at buying an S8 D2 full history etc. I am a bit worried about fuel consumption is there anything else I should look for? I have had a 2002 D" 4.2 which was terrific and not bad on fuel. I would be very grateful for any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Fuel consumption probably won't be TOO much worse than the D2. Oh, a lot more go!!! Ignore the official stats though. All depends upon how and where you drive. Things to check - gearbox, cambelt changes, lower front suspension arms (clonking), leaky rear diffs and leaking gearbox where from the final drive to the drive shaft to rear. Have you thought about the D3 4.2? Comes with more power and torque, 6 speed gearbox as opposed the 5 speed, air suspension and if you buy a later one, the cambelts won't need changing. Obviously, VERY different from the D2 S8 rev monster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
